Paul Krugman throws cold water on Thatcher tributes

Thatcher closed down much dying industry, and she kept the lid on inflation while ending stop go for a good while. Brown was much worse of course and almost completely mistaken in his tolerance for house price inflation.  Maggy was very good for the short run economy despite what Krugman writes! The British unions were abusive and overdid the job protective role at a time when no one really cared! Maggy's long term misunderstanding of the proper role Keynesian economics contributed to complacency about long term impact of liberalizing banking reform.

Thatcher rules for sure! Hip hip hurrah!

‘Obama phones’ subsidy program draws new scrutiny on the Hill - The Washington Post

Church of England rejects blessings for same-sex couples | Society | The Guardian

So much jibber jabber from the Church of England, bless it, and so foolish.

 I bless same sex couples and you can too.

 Lets all bless them. 

After all the church is only a representative of the supreme love of God and God blesses them as well! 

The church should be big enough to see it's folly to fail to recognise the extraordinary love opportunity and productive bond that potentially exists in the love between gays.

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
